In the past, cities were often direct manifestations of their culture. The ability for civic gatherings, the exchange of ideas and values and for cultural celebration reflected in the public realm and programming of the urban fabric. During the 21st century we have experienced unprecedented global integration. Advances in technology and international economic policies have reduced many barriers to the free flow of goods, services, capital, and people. This rapid pace of globalization has fueled economic opportunities and brought with it many other benefits, but it has also begun to diffuse cultural identity in cities.
Buildings account for 40 percent of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions. From houses and hospitals to schools and offices, buildings in the United States use about 40 percent of the country's energy for heating, cooling, lighting, and other operations. It is estimated that the manufacture, transport, and assembly of building materials such as wood, concrete, and steel account for another eight percent of energy use. About 30 percent of the electricity buildings use is generated from coal-burning power plants, which release greenhouse gases, causing climate change.

In this context, architecture has been navigating through sequential changes over the last decades with the rise and latter consolidation of new technologies, tools, formats, topics, scales, and interdisciplinary approaches, along with the emergence of the Internet that led towards a disruptive decentralization of the architecture production and discussion. Architects and designers from all over the world are embracing these challenges by pondering their roles and exploring their own practical approaches.

Architecture performs through bodies. Its conceptualization entails choreographing bodily movements. Drawings are spatial scripts, to which bodies perform in conformity, transgression, re-appropriation, or indifference. Performances can be corporeal or phenomenological, planned or spontaneous, everyday or a singularity. They charge architecture with vibrant energies disrupting the exigencies and politics of built spaces. The 10th issue of Room One Thousand, “Body + Performance,” seeks for performance to expand and challenge our understanding of architecture and its impact. Performance can be understood as an object, phenomenon, commodity, or metaphor. The convergence of architecture and performance captures the corporeality, tactility, and sensuality of a space. How can architecture be read through the lens of performance? Who is the performer, the building or the body? What are the design implications of highlighting the agency and plurality of bodies? What happens when architectural practice shifts from performance to production? How can performance be a methodology in design?
